Stahly
The mysterious masked Stahly is the founder and mastermind of Tale of Painters. Hailing from Craftworld Germany, he has been walking the Path of the Warhammer Collector since childhood. Over the decades, he has painted multiple armies and countless warbands and miniatures. When he's not painting miniatures or working on his library of hand-painted colour swatches, he's testing the latest paints, tools and model kits with German precision and a no non-sense attitude.

Hell Pit Abomination WIP Update #11
Hey there, got some more painting done on my Abomination. I did the warp stone and started painting the bone and teeth. Maybe I can get this beastie done this weekend? Next week will be pretty busy at work again so I hope I’ll be...
Hell Pit Abomination WIP Update #10
As I had to work on Saturday, I had only yesterday for my Abomination. I painted the brass and metal on the upper part and started basecoating the warp stone and the bones and teeth. A never ending story I know guys, but these huge...
Hell Pit Abomination WIP Update #9
A little sign of life from me. As feared, this week is madness at my job, I have to work very late (and on the weekend, too), leaving me very little time for painting. Thus, the upper half might look pretty much like the last...
